NFL Rumors: Here’s Why Rob Gronkowski Ultimately Chose To Retire (via NESN)
Even though it’s a few months in the past, Rob Gronkowski’s decision to retire took many by surprise.
The mere fact he retired wasn’t that surprising, but rather that it came via an Instagram post on a Sunday night with no real indication that he’d call it a careerSo why, exactly, did Gronkowski retire? It appears that, in part, his family was encouraging him to walk away for the sake of his health., ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio shed some light on why the now-former New England Patriots tight end retired.
“Well I remember back in the days preceding Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, there was a rumor making the rounds that Gronkowski would retire after that game, presumably if the Patriots won,” Florio said. “And remember, he was asked the question, ‘any truth to the rumor that you may retire?’ He said, ‘I don’t know how you heard about that,’ so there was a ‘that’ to be heard about.
“I think if they had won the Super Bowl, we would have done this whole thing last year, the speculation ‘will he be back for 2018 or won’t he.’ He would have retired then and we would have spent the offseason wondering how long it would stick. Now here we are, he finally walked away with that Super Bowl trophy in hand, walking off into the sunset like Jerome Bettis, Michael Strahan, John Elway. So now the question becomes is he going to decide, ‘Hey, I still want to do this.
